Power amp advice
I'm looking for a power amp to run a pair of Yorkville YSM1p monitors. I'm considering the Crown XLS402 for about $330USD or perhaps the Behringer EP1500 or Alesis RA300 both around the $300USD mark. I notice the Alesis is fanless, how much of an advantage is this, especially considering that I've designed a low noise DAW for the studio I want the power amp to fit into, in other words does the amp get used anytime recording is happening or only during a mix (first real audio studio and new to engineering, sorry for any dopy questions
). Thanks.

I'm somewhat of a Bryston fan. Fanatic is more of the word, I guess...
If you can find a used 2B or 2BLP, it'll be well worth the effort. On the new and low-priced side, the ONLY amps I'd suggest in that price range would be the Hafler TA series. Your mileage may vary... |

Stewart Amps are great and weight about 12-15lbs

Haven't seen any Stewarts on the used sites I've looked at yet but there's been a few Brystons around 15 or so years vintage for about the $300USD mark. Thanks for the tips.

I have had a few Stewart amps. They didn't sound bad, but they broke down a lot.
Bryston amps should have a 20 year transferable warranty and sound great. |
